When did you start playing your sport and how did you get involved with it?

What is your greatest athletic accomplishment?

My greatest accomplishment so far in my lacrosse career was getting the opportunity to start as a freshman on the field.

What is your favorite memory of playing at Salisbury University?

The greatest moment so far was rushing the field after winning the CAC championship in 2017 against York and seeing all of the parents, fans and alumni who came out to support our team.

Who is your biggest hero, athletically or otherwise, and why?

My biggest heroes are my grandparents due to their constant encouragement and support as well as for teaching me so much about hard work, dedication, and perseverance.

What is your favorite part of being a student (not just a student-athlete) at Salisbury University?

As a student I really enjoy all the opportunities the University provides to get involved in the community as well as all the opportunities outside of class available to us to get extra help and questions answered.

What do you like to do when you're not at practice, at a game or in class?

I love being with my friends and drive to the beach when it gets warm or go play racquetball and volleyball at UP.

What are your plans after graduation?

After I graduate I plan to go to graduate school to become a physical therapist and plan to travel abroad whenever I get the opportunity to.
